Zeko Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Thx guys! @ronin: u mean adding more helixs? Like 2 more? @Ruin: did u had something like this in mind with trim? Thx for input guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.ronin Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 @ronin: u mean adding more helixs? Like 2 more? ← No, like 50 more ... just thinking aloud here. But sort of like a mesh-helix vase. The circumference at the bottom would be bigger than that of the top. The form would curve in and out like a vase. I wish I had a scanner so I could draw it but that's the best I can do to describe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake@War Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Lovin' the new concept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToKill Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 New base and ball are awesome. I like the concept of the helixs, but like Ronin said would look better as a dense wire mesh of helixs curving in and out with a similar profile to the glass center, or maybe a dense mesh only at the top forming a cup the ball sits in. what does Gold/silver ball with a glass center look like?

Zeko Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 K i'll try it out than. BTK u can see it tomorrow, the gold/silver ball with glass center that is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeko Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 New renders! I have one more design on my mind and than i'll just end with new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I think #2 around the water from #1 would look great. I like the new reflections on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) I like the middle one best... with the trim... take the top one and move it up to that wooden lip... err, here, like this... Incredibly rough, but the best way for me to communicate what I mean. Then, you can decide if the trim needs to come up and meet the top of the base, needs some texture or whatever... Sorry, it's REALLY rough, haha Edited March 6, 2006 by Ruin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squad_e Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Aha yeah i think i get it Ruin. I'll try that aswell. Thx Edit: new concept. What do u think? Glass or this one? Also i added some gold to the ball. Render is not high quality but u can get the picture... ← wow! ... That one owns! .. Put a can of Coka Recon next to it ..

BornToKill Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I still prefer the Glass myself with the gold ball. The reflection still does quite sit right, looks like the ceiling/top of the box(enviroment) has a texture and the other sides are plain. Max is rendering correctly and you've got it set up ok by the looks of things, i'd suggest it needs a scene in which to sit so as to get some realistic reflections. Maybe a Wood or Glass Table for it to sit on with the usual Sports Sponsers background you see at events, kinda like this background I think once the scene/background is done it will really bring it to life.

Zeko Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thx for comments guys! @Sup: u mean glass with those helixs around? @Ruin: i'm gonna try that tomorrow. Thx for taking time to explain! @Goose: maybe i'll do it @BTK: that texture u see is actually HDRI environment. U will see it at my last render where i made the last version of cup. In last render i used just plane for bottom and nothing else. In previous renders i had kind of studio lighting setup. As u can see now, HDRI is all over the place. I'll model some board beside where guys will write up winners at the end of the sesion and thats it. Maybe in version 2 next time. Anyway last version i made today and i think i like this one most, maybe cuz it's minimalistic, really dunno anymore lol C&C welcome!

Sup Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 @Sup: u mean glass with those helixs around? ← Yeah. HDRI setup looks nice, but it seems a little off on the silver stand, for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sup Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I'd consider posting in the WIP section of CGtalk.com. You get mixed quality in replies, but a lot of them know rendering far better than any of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake@War Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I definitely like the new model the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToKill Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 that last model stand looks the best m8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
